[First posting, hope it works...] I am going to purchase an Ensoniq Mirage in the near future, and would like to be able to transfer samples between the Mirage and Amiga, both ways. I have seen Synthia Professional and know it will transfer created samples to the EPS. But I don't have the funds for a program that retails for $495, nor the EPS. I was hoping there might be a utility that will download samples from the Amiga to the Mirage through MIDI. It seems reasonable, since both are 8-bit machines. What I was thinking is that I could get by with the old Synthia, using it to synthesize the sounds and then download them to the Mirage. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, PS On a related note, I could have purchased Synthia Pro for $75 at the World of Commodore Show. Some dealer had it miss marked at $75, instead of the $2-300 price. What really sucks is that I could have bought it for that price, but I had to go open my big mouth and ask what the reatil price was. They looked it up and said, sorry we can't sell it at that price. Of course, being a student I couldn't afford what they offered it to me for ( $197, 'at cost' ) So I had to leave and kick myself all the way home. :-( .signature goes here, but I am not sure of the path, sorry.

It is a commercial product. I have never used it, though.

I am aware of the program Sound Oasis, but it is not exactly what I am looking for. I am more interested in being able to send Amiga samples to the Mirage through MIDI. I know Synthia Professional can do it with the EPS, but I cannot afford either. I was hoping to be able to use the original Synthia to create the instruments and then download them to the Mirgage for increased fidelity. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. e
